Default bean germination question

I sowed seeds on wednesday 6 days ago and expect them to come up pretty soon. Weather has been pretty cool at night with lows in the 30s past couple nights. I am figuring the cooler weather will slow germination but am wondering, if the cold weather might have possibly damaged them already.

If the seeds are 1/2" to 1" down, then I doubt they would have been damaged by a light frost (32).

They take 1-2 weeks to germinate and show emergence in my experience.

Fantastic. I still have not built that bed. I am now considering a container of cucumbers with a tomato cage in it just so I've got something going.

100 percent on the roma II and 70 percent on the blue lake 274, plan to give the bl a couple more days and maybe re-sow a few more to make up the difference
